43 CHAPTER 3 Registering, Upgrading, and Initially Setting Up the Array This chapter provides an overview of the management software and the steps required for first time you log in. It contains the following sections: Starting the Management Software on page 27 Registering the Array on page 32 Upgrading the Array Firmware on page 34 Setting Up the Array Name and Other Initial Array Functions on page 40 Setting Up General Site and Contact Information on page 42 Setting Up Notification for Fault Management on page 43 Adding Users And Assigning Roles on page 45 Next Steps on page 48 Starting the Management Software The Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager provides two interfaces for accessing the configuration software and the monitoring software for the array: A remote scripting command-line interface (CLI) that enables you to run commands interactively from an out-of-band management station, or write scripts to automate certain administrative tasks. For access instructions, see Logging In and Out Using the CLI on page 28. A browser interface for running the graphical user interface on any management host that is connected to the site LAN. The web-based browser interface is the primary interface for configuring, managing, and monitoring the system. For access instructions, see Logging In Using the Browser Interface on page

44 When you register an array in Common Array Manager, the wizard analyzes the firmware installed on the array. If the firmware placed on the host is newer than the firmware installed on the array, the wizard performs an array firmware upgrade. Logging In and Out Using the CLI The following explains how to log in to and out of a remote host using the CLI. Do so either by remotely logging in to a management software station or by using the Solaris remote client on a remote host. 1. Access the CLI directory: cd /opt/sunwsesscs/cli/bin Note Be sure to add the /opt/sunwsesscs/cli/bin directory to your path. 2. Log in by typing the following command: % sscs login -h cam-hostname -u username where: cam-hostname is the management host machine where you installed the software. username is one of the defined users in the management host software. See Adding Users And Assigning Roles on page 45. You can now use CLI commands to perform the same software operations as those available in the browser interface. For more information: For UNIX, see the sscs(1m) man page, located in /opt/sunwsesscs/cli/man. For Windows, see Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager sscs(1m) CLI Quick Reference. Note To locate the sscs(1m) man page, you must update your MANPATH variable or use the -m option with the man command. 3. Log out by typing the following command: # sscs logout 28 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

45 Logging In Using the Browser Interface You can start the management software on any system that is connected to the user LAN. Before you log in, you need to set up a storage role or group in your OS and assign users to it. See Adding Users And Assigning Roles on page Open a supported web browser. Note For information about supported web browsers, see the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Release Notes. 2. Enter the IP address of the management host using this format: cam-management-host is the IP address of the host where you installed the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software. The login page is displayed. 3. Login with the root or storage user name. Chapter 3 Registering, Upgrading, and Initially Setting Up the Array 29

46 You need root and storage users on the system. For more information about user names and roles, see Adding Users And Assigning Roles on page 45. For Solaris, root already exists for the machine on which you installed the software. For Windows, you will have to create a root user name. with Windows administrative privileges. For more information about adding users and roles to Windows, see Adding User Roles and New Users to Windows on page Click Log In. The Java Web Console page is displayed. At this point, you are logged in to the system. Note The connection closes automatically if there is no activity for approximately 15 minutes. 5. Select Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager from the Storage section of the Sun Java Web Console page. The Storage System Summary page is displayed. 30 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

From here, you can carry out the setup tasks described in the following sections, including registering arrays, upgrading the array firmware, naming arrays, setting the array password, setting the system time, and adding new users. Chapter 3 Registering, Upgrading, and Initially Setting Up the Array 31

48 Registering the Array When you first log into the array s management software, select Storage Systems in the left navigation pane and on the Storage Summary page, click Register. The Array Registration wizard starts and you can choose to either search the subnet for arrays that are not already registered or to manually register an array as noted in the following sections: Searching the Subnet for Arrays to Register on page 32 Manually Registering an Array on page 33 Unregistering an Array on page 33 At the end of the registration wizard, you can upgrade the array firmware for initial installations. Searching the Subnet for Arrays to Register You can automatically discover and register arrays that are on the same subnet as the management host. If the arrays are not on the same subnet as the management host, manually register the array in the wizard (see Manually Registering an Array on page 33). The searching option sends out a broadcast message to identify any connected, but unregistered arrays. The discovery process displays the percentage of completion while the array management software polls devices in the network to determine whether any new arrays are available. When complete, a list of discovered arrays is displayed. To Search the Subnet: 1. Click Storage Systems. The Storage System Summary page is displayed. 2. Click Register. The Register Storage System wizard is displayed. 3. In the Register Storage System wizard, click Auto Discover Arrays. The management software detects the array you installed on its subnet and adds it to the Storage System Summary page. Note It takes approximately 2 minutes for the software to discover each array. 32 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

49 4. Verify that the array has been added to the Storage System Summary page. 5. If the array is not displayed, do one of the following: Check the array status using the ping command. Check the hardware connections. If the array is still not displayed, you can register the array manually as described in the next section. Manually Registering an Array Manual registration enables you to register an array by identifying the IP address of its controller. This option is typically used only to add a storage array that is outside of the subnet of the management host. To Manually Register an Array: 1. Click Storage Systems. The Storage System Summary page is displayed. 2. Click Register. The management software launches the Register Storage System wizard. 3. Follow the step-by-step instructions and click the buttons in the wizard to complete the registration. Note The password of the array is not a required entry. No array is shipped with a default password. This field is used only if the array being registered is one that was previously managed and had a set password. To give the array a password, see Setting an Array Password on page 42. Unregistering an Array You remove an array from the management software by unregistering the array. To Unregister an Array: 1. Click Storage Systems. The Storage System Summary page is displayed. Chapter 3 Registering, Upgrading, and Initially Setting Up the Array 33

50 2. Select the check box to the left of the array you want to remove from the list of registered arrays. This enables the Remove button. 3. Click Remove. Upgrading the Array Firmware You can upgrade your array firmware by either: Completing the firmware upgrade section at the end of the Array Registration wizard (for new arrays). You can choose to modify the array firmware later with the next option. Clicking the Upgrade Firmware button on the Storage System Summary page (for configured arrays). As part of the installation of the Common Array Manager software, the script puts the array firmware files in a directory on the management host. When you upgrade the firmware, the software analyzes the firmware installed on the array. If the firmware on the host is newer, and you choose to upgrade, the software performs an array firmware upgrade. Note For optimal performance, Sun Microsystems recommends that the firmware on all arrays be at the level of the current firmware baseline. To Upgrade the Array Firmware: 1. Choose one of the following: Continue with the Register Array wizard Upgrade the Firmware after the wizard a. Click Storage Systems.

In the navigation pane, choose the array you want to work with. The General Setup page is displayed. 2. In the Name field, enter a unique name consisting of up to 30 characters. The General Setup page contains other features that you may decide to configure. See the online help for more information before you change any default settings. Creating a Hot-Spare Drive From the drrop-down menu on the General Setup page, select a drive to serve as a hot spare drive to provide alternative drive space in case of a failure. Refer to the online help for information about this and other advanced configuration features. Setting the System Time You can also update the system time and date on the General Setup page for the array in the browser interface. When you set the time and date for a selected array, the values are updated for all arrays registered with this management software. There are two ways in which you can update the system time and date: Click Synchronize with Server to synchronize the time on the array with your management host Set the time manually To Set the Time Manually: 1. On the General Setup page, scroll down to the System Time section. 2. Select the current hour and minute according to a 24-hour clock. 3. If the date is incorrect, change the month, day, and year to the current date. Chapter 3 Registering, Upgrading, and Initially Setting Up the Array 41

58 4. Click Save to save your changes. The General Setup page is refreshed, and Success message is displayed at the top of the page. For more information about the fields and buttons on the General Setup page that you can use after you set up your system, see the online help. Setting an Array Password A new Sun StorageTek array is shipped with a blank, or empty, password field. Sun recommends that you establish an array password during initial setup for security purposes. The password prevents other management hosts from unauthorized access to the configuration of the array. To Set an Array Password on a New Array: 1. On the General Setup for the storage system page, click Manage Passwords. The Manage Passwords page is displayed. 2. Select Change Array Password. 3. Leave the Old Password field blank. This is the only time you can leave this field blank, when you establish a password for a new array. 4. Enter a new password consisting of up to 30 characters for the array. 5. Enter the password again to confirm the new password. 6. Click OK. The General Setup page is displayed. The management software stores an encrypted copy of the array password, known as the local password, on the management host. Setting Up General Site and Contact Information The General Configuration page contains information about the site, rather than the array, and differs from the General Setup page. Enter the following information for your site: 42 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

Perform optional fault management setup tasks: Confirm general setup information. Add and activate agents. Specify system timeout settings. Adding Users And Assigning Roles To set up the array for basic operation, perform the procedures outlined in the following sections: Using Initial Administrative Roles on page 45 Assigning Roles to Users on page 46 To Add New Users in UNIX on page 47 To Add New Users in Windows on page 48 Using Initial Administrative Roles The first time that you access your array software, you sign on as an administrator: root in Unix an administrator user in Window. Chapter 3 Registering, Upgrading, and Initially Setting Up the Array 45

62 You then assign a user role of storage or guest to each user of the software. The storage role allows a user access to all of the software features related to storage device configuration and array management. The storage and guest roles must be added to the management host using its OS software. For Solaris OS, consult system administration documentation. For Windows, add groups for storage and guest and assign members to those groups. Refer to Adding User Roles and New Users to Windows on page 77 for additional information about adding roles in Windows. Assigning Roles to Users The user role assigned to a user determines that user s access to the management functions for the array. TABLE 3-1 describes the valid user names and user role functions and the requirements for each. TABLE 3-1 Valid User Names and User Roles User Role/Group Description User Name Required Password storage (initial administrator) Use the root or administrative user name to initially add other users. A storage user can use all of the software features related to storage device configuration and array management. UNIX - root Windows - administrator user, including root if so set up. Root or administrator password on the management host storage A storage user can use all of the software features related to storage device configuration and array management. Any valid user on the management host Password assigned to the user on the management host guest A guest user has read-only privileges and can only view information. This user cannot modify any settings or features. Any valid user on the management host Password assigned to the user on the management host Best Practices - User Roles and Names 1. Setting up with an administrative role. In UNIX, by default, root has a storage role that allows full privileges. Before you can add other user and assign that user a user role, the user name must be defined in the Solaris Operating System /etc/passwd file or network information server (NIS). 46 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

63 In Windows, you can set up an administrative role with full privileges. You can even call it root, as noted in Adding User Roles and New Users to Windows on page Restrict use of the administrator role. To maintain security on the server running the management host software, the root or administrator user name and password should be used only the first time you log in. At that time, create at least one user with a storage user role. Thereafter, that created user can perform all available management functions, including adding or modifying users. 3. Make rules for multiple users with storage roles. Multiple instances of the same user name can be logged in concurrently. However, because users with the storage user role have write privileges, there is a risk that the changes of one logged-in user will overwrite previous changes of another logged-in user. Therefore, you should develop policies about who can make changes and how to notify others. To Add New Users in UNIX 1. To view the list of defined users, choose General Configuration > User Management in the navigation pane. The User Summary page is displayed. 2. To add a new user, click the Add button. The Add New User page is displayed. 3. In the User Name field, enter a valid user name. The user name must be defined in the Solaris Operating System /etc/passwd file or NIS. Chapter 3 Registering, Upgrading, and Initially Setting Up the Array 47

64 4. From the User Role list, select the role you want to assign for this user. You can assign a user to one of the user roles identified in TABLE Click OK. The User Summary page is displayed with a success message, and the name is added to the list. Note Newly added users should enter the same password for the Sun Java Web Console that they use in their Solaris accounts. To Add New Users in Windows Refer to Adding User Roles and New Users to Windows on page 77. Next Steps You are now ready to review the planning concepts that will help you to configure storage. If you are familiar with the concepts, you can proceed to Configuring Basic Storage on page Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

65 CHAPTER 4 Planning Your Storage Configuration This chapter introduces you to the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager storage components. It contains the following sections: Storage Array Configuration Components on page 49 Partitioning Storage Using Storage Domains on page 50 Best Practices - Storage Configuration on page 53 For more information about the concepts introduced in this chapter, see the appropriate topic in the online help. Storage Array Configuration Components The array management software configures both physical and logical storage components. The components of a storage array configuration are as follows. Initiator A port on a Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapter (HBA) that allows a host to gain access to the storage array. The initiator has a World Wide Name (WWN) that is globally unique. Host A data host, or server with one or more initiators, that stores its data on arrays. You can define volume-to-logical unit number (LUN) mappings to an individual host or assign a host to a host group. Host group A collection of hosts that share access to the same volumes. Storage domain A logical entity used to partition storage. You need to purchase a license for the number of domains you need, depending on your array. Storage profile A defined set of characteristics for a storage pool. You can choose from the set of preconfigured profiles or create a new one. 49

66 Storage pool A collection of volumes that share a profile defining a common configuration. Volumes A division of a storage pool, consisting of virtual disks, representing the storage space that is used by the data hosts in the environment. Disk A non-volatile, randomly addressable, rewriteable data storage device. Physical disks are managed as a pool of storage space for creating volumes. Virtual disks Also called a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) set, a collection of locations in the memory of more than one physical disk. The storage array handles a virtual disk as if it were an actual disk. Tray An enclosure that contains a varying number of disks, depending on your array. In addition to the basic elements of your storage configuration covered in this guide, you can add advanced, premium features to your configuration. These features require the purchase of licenses. The following premium features are described in the online help and user guide: Snapshots are copies of the data in a volume. They offer a high-availability alternative to backups because you do not need to take the array offline to create the snapshot, and you can store the snapshots in less space than the original data. Volume copies are copies of the complete contents of one data volume that are located on another data volume on the same array. Replication sets are the association between primary and secondary volumes. The secondary volume contains a complete copy of the data on the primary volume. The data replication software continuously replicates the data between volumes in a replication set. Partitioning Storage Using Storage Domains Storage domains, also called sets or storage partitions, enable you to partition storage to allow hosts or host groups access to specific volumes. Data hosts, such as a data base server, initiate data to store in volumes through the physical host ports (or initiators), residing on host HBAs. Volume-to-LUN mapping enables you to specify the host or host group that can access a specific volume on your storage array. 50 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

67 Note Storage domains for LUN-mapping require the purchase and activation of a license. (Exception - the Sun StorageTek 6130 array includes some free storage domains to start.) The role of the free default domain is discussed below. The is a free default domain with limited functions noted below. But to map specific initiators to specific volumes, you need to activate a premium license for a storage domain. Usually your need for premium licenses will be determined at the time you order your array. The Default Domain A non-premium, default storage domain exists to include the following: All host groups and hosts that are not explicitly mapped to a volume. All volumes that have a default volume-to-lun mapping assigned. All unmapped, automatically detected initiators. Any volumes within the default storage domain can be accessed by all hosts and host groups within that storage domain. Note If you only use the default domain, you cannot configure software features such as profiles, pools, initiators, host groups, LUN-mapping, and virtual disks. Premium Storage Domains Premium storage domains define a volume-to-logical unit number (LUN) mapping, which will allow you to specify the host or host group that will have access to a particular volume in your storage array. The storage domain designates that only the selected host or host group has access to that particular volume through the assigned LUN. When the storage domain consists of a volume mapped to a host group, it can enable hosts with different operating systems (heterogeneous hosts), to share access to a storage volume. A host within a host group can be mapped separately to a different volume. A storage domain can contain up to 256 volumes. A volume can be included in only one storage domain and each LUN, from 0 to 255, can only be used once per storage domain. Chapter 4 Planning Your Storage Configuration 51

68 Note: Not all operating systems support up to 256 LUN IDs. See the documentation for your operating system for more information. FIGURE 4-1 shows how storage domains can be used to partition storage. It depicts a storage array configured with three storage domains, Storage Domain 1, Storage Domain 2, and Storage Domain 3. Storage Array Storage domain 1 Storage domain 2 Host group X Host group Y Host A xx LUN 1 Marketing Host C xx LUN 1 Engineering Storage domain 3 Host B xx LUN 2 Sales Host D xx LUN 2 Test FIGURE 4-1 Storage Array With Three Domains and Four Data Hosts Storage Domain 1 consists of two volumes, Marketing and Sales, that are mapped to Host Group X. Host Group X contains two hosts, Host A and Host B. All initiators associated with Host A and Host B, within Host Group X, have access to volume Marketing by way of LUN ID 1 and to volume Sales by way of LUN ID 2. Storage Domain 2 consists of one volume, Engineering, that is mapped to Host Group Y. Host Group Y contains two hosts, Host C and Host D. By virtue of being associated with any host within Host Group Y, all initiators associated with Host C and Host D have access to volume Engineering by way of LUN ID 1. Storage Domain 3 consists of one volume, Test, that is mapped to Host D. All initiators associated with Host D have access to volume Test by way of LUN ID 2. Note that Host D is a member of Host Group Y; however, since volume Test is mapped directly to Host D and not to Host Group Y, Host D is the only member of Host Group Y that can access volume Test. 52 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

69 Note LUN IDs must be unique within a storage domain. For more information about storage domains and LUN mapping, see the online help. Best Practices - Storage Configuration When configuring a storage array, you need to determine how to organize and allocate the total storage capacity into volumes and share those volumes among your data hosts. As you plan your storage configuration, it is important that you consider the following requirements for your site: Performance requirements You can optimize I/O activity by selecting a predefined storage profile with different characteristics or by creating a custom profile. Access requirements You can use storage domains to organize and allocate storage so that only certain hosts have access to volumes. Volumes in a storage domain can be accessed only by hosts and host groups that are in the same storage domain. You can associate a storage domain with individual hosts or with a host group. Combination of redundancy with performance To maximize both performance and redundancy, a combination of RAID levels is necessary. The data striping provided by RAID 0 is a cost-effective way to create high levels of performance in a disk array, and having multiple copies of data through data mirroring provided by RAID 1 is the best way to create redundancy. By combining RAID 1 with RAID 0, you can take advantage of both features. To combine disk mirroring with disk striping, configure RAID 1 with more than two drives. The firmware automatically creates a RAID 1+0 virtual disk. Storage defaults - The default storage profile, storage pool, and storage domain are configured as follows: The default storage profile configures associated volumes with a RAID-5 level, default segment size, enabled read-ahead mode, FC disk type, and a variable number of drives. The default storage pool uses the default profile (RAID-5) and groups all volumes with the same storage characteristics, as defined by the storage profile. The default domain has no restrictions and allows all hosts and host groups to share access to the same volumes. If you want to restrict access to volumes from certain hosts, you should use storage domains and not the default domain. Chapter 4 Planning Your Storage Configuration 53

70 Using profiles and pools - You must plan your configuration to determine what storage profile and storage pool to use. For more information, see Planning Volumes and related topics in the online help. 54 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

71 CHAPTER 5 Configuring Basic Storage This chapter describes how to configure basic storage on the array. It guides you through the following steps: Enabling Premium Features on page 55 Configuring Basic Storage on page 56 Planning Storage Before Using the New Volume Wizard on page 57 Using the New Volume Wizard to Create and Map Volumes on page 62 For more information about the configuration introduced in this chapter, see the appropriate topic in the online help. Note Before you configure storage, be sure to understand the concepts presented in Planning Your Storage Configuration on page 49 Enabling Premium Features License certificates are issued when you purchase premium services and contain instructions for obtaining license information from the Sun Licensing Center. Premium features that are available with the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software include: Storage Domains Volume Copy Volume Snapshot Data Replication 55

72 Refer to your license certificate and contact the Sun License Center for license key information. Go to for your local Sun License Center phone number. Note Adding Storage Domains Licenses to Partition Storage. If you want to create storage domains to partition storage with other than the default domain, you must activate the storage domain licenses. To Add a License and Enable a Premium Feature: 1. Click Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager. The navigation pane and the Storage System Summary page are displayed. 2. In the navigation pane, expand the array for which you want to display license information. The navigation tree is expanded for that array. 3. Expand Administration and choose Licensing. The Licensable Feature Summary page is displayed. 4. Click Add License. The Add License page is displayed. 5. Select the type of license you want to add, and specify the version number and key digest supplied by Sun. 6. Click OK. Configuring Basic Storage The following sections guide you though configuring storage. The New Volume wizard, available form the Volume Summary page, guides you through the steps for creating a volume and other basic storage configuration. Note If you only use the default domain and do not activate premium storage domains., all hosts in the domain will have access to the volume and you will not be able to change the default domain s storage characteristics in the wizard. When you create a volume, the wizard prompts you to enter or select the following information: 56 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

73 Volume name and capacity A storage pool, which is associated with a storage profile. Unless you create new pools, only the default pool with the default RAID-5 profile will be available. The mode in which virtual disks will be created (automatically or other options) Optionally, a mapping from the volume to a host or host group and LUN to partition storage. You can also map to the default domain. Before beginning the New Volume wizard in Using the New Volume Wizard to Create and Map Volumes on page 62, review the next section to decide if there are non-default storage elements that you want to configure. If so, you can either configure the elements before you begin the New Volume wizard or you can open a second browser window and configure them as you need to during the wizard. Planning Storage Before Using the New Volume Wizard Before you create a volume, you should plan the allocation of your storage. This section will tell you if you need to use the following sections before using the New Volume wizard: Selecting Additional Profiles on page 58 Creating Storage Pools on page 59 Creating Hosts and Host Groups on page 60 Creating Initiators to Assign to Hosts on page 61 Before using the New Volume wizard, you should know If you want to define default RAID characteristics with the default pool and its RAID-5 profile. If so, you can select the defaults in the wizard. If not, you will need to define a new pool as described in Creating Storage Pools on page 59 and assign it a pre-defined or new profile, as described in Selecting Additional Profiles on page 58. Whether you will partition storage through storage domains. Chapter 5 Configuring Basic Storage 57

74 If so, you need to activate the domain licenses as described in Enabling Premium Features on page 55. Then you need to define hosts or host groups before or after the New Volume wizard as described in Creating Hosts and Host Groups on page 60. Otherwise you will be using the default domain. How you will configure the storage capacity from initiators between volumes, hosts and host groups. Selecting Additional Profiles The StorageTek Common Array Manager software provides several storage profiles that meet most storage configuration requirements. By default, the New Volume wizard will allow you to select a default pool with its default profile of RAID-5 characteristics. Profiles are selected from pools. If the default profile does not meet your performance needs, before entering the New Volume wizard, you can create a pool and select one of several other predefined profiles, or you can create a custom profile. To View the Predefined Storage Profiles: 1. Click Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager. The navigation pane and the Storage System Summary page are displayed. 2. In the navigation pane, expand the array you want to work with and choose Profiles. The Storage Profile Summary page is displayed. TABLE 5-1 describes the characteristics of the predefined storage profiles.

Select a profile that matches your storage requirements. You will need the name of the storage profile later, when you create a storage pool. Note If you want to create a custom profile, click New on the Storage Profile Summary page. If you need information about any of the fields, click Help. Creating Storage Pools A storage pool is a collection of volumes with the same configuration. By default, you can select a pool with a default profile of RAID-5 characteristics. You can create new pools and assign other profiles to them. To Create Storage Pools: 1. In the navigation pane, under the array you want to work with, choose Pools. The Storage Pool Summary page is displayed. 2. Click New. The Create New Storage Pool page is displayed. 3. Enter a name for the new storage pool, using a maximum of 30 characters. 4. Enter a description of the new storage pool. 5. Select Default or another predefined storage profile that meets your storage needs. For information about the characteristics of the predefined storage profiles, see TABLE 5-1. Chapter 5 Configuring Basic Storage 59

76 6. Click OK. The new storage pool is displayed on the Storage Pool Summary page. Creating Hosts and Host Groups By default, the New Volume wizard assigns a default storage domain if no other hosts or host groups have been created. Most storage users will want to create additional storage domains and host groups to partition storage. You typically create host groups to group hosts that share the same storage characteristics and so that they can share access to a volume. You can map volumes to a host group or to individual hosts that have a LUN. You can create the host and host groups either before or after the New Volume wizard. (If afterwards, you will have to manually complete the steps equivalent to the New Volume wizard to configure initiators for each host, assign hosts to host groups, if needed, and complete the volume-to-lun-mapping.) If you have many hosts to create, you may find it easier to create the hosts first and then to add the hosts to a host group. Note Lun-mapping requires storage domain licenses. While you can create hosts and host groups without a storage domain license, you will not be able to map them. To Create Hosts 1. In the navigation pane, under the array you want to work with, expand Physical Devices and choose Hosts. The Host Summary page is displayed. 2. Click New. The Create New Host page is displayed. 3. Type a name for the new host, using a maximum of 30 characters. Use a name that will allow you to recognize the data host on your network. 4. (Optional) If host groups have already been created, assign the new host directly to a host group. 5. Click OK. The host is created and added to the Host Summary page. 60 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

77 To Create a Host Group 1. In the navigation pane, under the array you want to work with, choose Physical Devices > Host Groups. The Host Group Summary page is displayed. 2. Click New. The New Host Group page is displayed. 3. Enter a name for the new host group, using a maximum of 30 characters. 4. Double-click the names of the available hosts you want to add to the group. You can also click Select All or Remove All to add or remove all of the available hosts. 5. Click OK. The new host group is created and added to the Host Group Summary page. Creating Initiators to Assign to Hosts To make non-default storage available to a data host or host group, you create an initiator and associate it with a host. An initiator is an FC port that is identified by a unique WWN of an HBA installed on the data host. To Create An Initiator and Assign It To a Host: 1. In the navigation pane, under the array you want to work with, choose Physical Devices > Initiators. The Initiator Summary page is displayed. 2. Click New. The New Initiator page is displayed. 3. Enter a name for the new initiator, using a maximum of 30 characters. 4. Specify a new WWN for the initiator, or select an existing WWN from the dropdown list of unassigned WWNs. If you specify a new WWN, the delimiting colons (:) of the 16-character hexadecimal WWN are optional. 5. Select the host name for the new initiator. 6. Select the host type for the new initiator. 7. Click OK. Chapter 5 Configuring Basic Storage 61

78 The Initiator Summary page displays the initiator name, host name, host type, and WWN of the new initiator. Using the New Volume Wizard to Create and Map Volumes A volume is a container into which applications, databases, and file systems can store data. A volume is created from virtual disks that are part of a storage pool. Based on your selections, the array automatically allocates storage from different disks to meet your volume configuration requirements. As mentioned in Planning Storage Before Using the New Volume Wizard on page 57, you may want to configure new profiles, pools, host, host-groups, or initiators before or during the wizard if the defaults do not match your storage needs. When you are ready to begin, the New Volume wizard guides you through the steps for creating a volume. To Use the New Volume Wizard to Create Volumes 1. In the navigation pane, under the array you want to work with, choose Volumes. The Volume Summary page is displayed. 2. Click New. The New Volume wizard is displayed. Note After the initial installation, you will be unable to select New if there is not enough disk space for a new volume or if no existing virtual disks match the selected profile. 3. Enter a name and capacity for the volume, and select the storage pool with which you want it to be associated. The storage pool you select is associated with a storage profile, which determines the volume s storage characteristics. Only the default pool with a default RAID-5 profile will display until you create new pools. The volume name can consist of a maximum of 30 characters. The volume capacity equals the amount of virtual disk space to be used. 62 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

79 4. Click Next. You are prompted to select the method by which virtual disks will be selected: 5. Select the method you want to use to create a virtual disk: Automatic The software assigns the physical disks to be used based on the profile. Create Volume on an Existing Virtual Disk Follow the wizard steps to select virtual disks. Create Volume on a New Virtual Disk Follow the wizard steps to specify disks. 6. Follow the rest of the wizard to configure the virtual disks. You are prompted to map the volume to a host or host group and to select a LUN. If you have not created additional hosts or host groups, only the default storage domain will display. You map the volume to new hosts or host groups later. 7. Select a host or host group select a LUN number. After you click Finish, the new volume is displayed on the Volume Summary page. About Volumes and the Default Domain or Partitioned Storage Domains. After the New Volume wizard completes, your volumes will be belong to: The default domain if you did not activate premium storage domains. All hosts in the domain will have access to the volume and you will not be able to change storage characteristics within the domain. A storage domain that partitions storage and allows you to define the storage characteristics such as the profile. Chapter 5 Configuring Basic Storage 63

85 APPENDIX B Configuring IP Addressing In order for there to be an out-of-band Ethernet connection between the local management host and the array controllers, the management host and the array controllers must have valid IP addresses. There are three methods for adding the IP address: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), for assigning IP addresses dynamically The serial port for assigning static IP addresses The Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software for assigning static IP addresses The first two methods are documented in your array installation guide. This appendix describes how to use Common Array Manager software to substitute a static IP address for the default internal IP address. It contains the following sections: Configuring the IP Address of the Array Controllers on page 69 Configuring the IP Address of the Management Host on page 73 Creating and Deleting a Temporary Virtual Subnet on a Management Host on page 74 Configuring the IP Address of the Array Controllers With static IP addressing, you assign a specific IP address to Ethernet port 1 of each array controller. Static IP addresses remain in effect until you modify or remove them. 69

86 By default, an internal IP address is assigned to Ethernet port 1 of each controller: Ethernet port 1 of Controller A is assigned IP address Ethernet port 1 of Controller B is assigned IP address Using Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager to Assign IP Addresses To use the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software to specify an IP address for Ethernet port 1 of each controller, you must perform the procedures in the following sections: Establishing Temporary IP Connectivity With the Management Host on page 70 Assigning an IP Address to Ethernet Port 1 on Each Controller on page 71 Restoring the Management Host IP Configuration on page 73 Note Before performing the procedures in this section, be sure the management host has an Ethernet connection to the controller s Ethernet ports. Establishing Temporary IP Connectivity With the Management Host In order to assign IP addresses to the controllers, you must establish temporary IP connectivity between the management host and Ethernet port 1 of each controller. There are two methods by which to do that, depending on the method by which the management host and controller s Ethernet ports are physically connected to the Ethernet, and the availability of an Ethernet interface on the management host. The two methods of establishing temporary IP connectivity are as follows: Assigning a temporary IP address to a management host Ethernet interface in the same subnet as the default IP addresses of the controller s Ethernet ports (for example, IP address ). Use this method if the following conditions are true: You have an available Ethernet interface on the management host or you can temporarily reassign the IP address of an Ethernet interface on the management host. 70 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

87 Ethernet port 1 of each controller can be directly connected to an Ethernet interface on the management host by an Ethernet crossover cable, or Ethernet port 1 of each controller and an Ethernet interface of the management host are connected to the same Ethernet hub. For information on changing the IP address of an Ethernet interface on the management host, see Configuring the IP Address of the Management Host on page 73 Creating a temporary virtual subnet on the management host. Use this method if there is not an available Ethernet interface on the management host or if Ethernet port 1 of each controller is connected to a subnet on the local area network (LAN) that is not the subnet of the management host. For information on creating a temporary virtual subnet on the management host, see Creating and Deleting a Temporary Virtual Subnet on a Management Host on page 74. Assigning an IP Address to Ethernet Port 1 on Each Controller After you have established temporary IP connectivity between the controller s Ethernet ports and the management host, you can use the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software to assign a static IP address to Ethernet port 1 of each controller. To Assign an IP Address to Each Ethernet Port 1. Access the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software: a. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the management host: management-host is the IP address of the machine where you installed the management software. The login page is displayed. b. Log in as root: Login: root Password: root-password root-password is the root password of the machine where you installed the management software. Appendix B Configuring IP Addressing 71

88 c. From the Sun Java Web Console page, click Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager. The Storage System Summary page is displayed. 2. Temporarily register the array with the default Ethernet port IP addresses. See Registering the Array on page 32 for instructions. 3. Assign a static IP address to Ethernet port 1 on each controller. a. In the navigation pane, expand Storage Systems and choose the array to which you want to assign an IP address. The General Setup page is displayed. (This procedure assumes that you previously set the array general information.) b. Enter the array name and click OK. c. In the navigation pane, under the array you want to work with, expand Physical Devices and choose Controllers. The Controller Summary page is displayed. d. First for Controller A s (Controller 1) Ethernet port 1 and then for Controller B s (Controller 2) Ethernet port 1, select Specify Network Configuration and then enter the IP address, gateway address, and netmask. Click OK. You might see an error message indicating that contact has been lost with the array as a result of the changed IP address. You can ignore this message. 4. Delete the array to remove the default IP addresses: a. Log out of the console and then log in again. The Storage System Summary page is displayed. b. On the Storage System Summary page, click the check box next to the original array with the original IP address, and click the Remove button to remove the old IP address. 5. Reregister the array with the static IP addresses. To register the array, see Registering the Array on page 32 for instructions. 6. If you are configuring multiple arrays, use the following Solaris OS commands to clear the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table entry for each controller: arp -d ip-address-controller-a arp -d ip-address-controller-b 72 Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

89 Restoring the Management Host IP Configuration If you changed the IP address of the management host, you must restore the original IP address as described in the next section. To restore the original IP address of an Ethernet interface on the management host, see Configuring the IP Address of the Management Host on page 73. If you established a virtual subnet to assign IP addresses, you should delete it. To delete the temporary virtual subnet on the management host, see Creating and Deleting a Temporary Virtual Subnet on a Management Host on page 74. Configuring the IP Address of the Management Host To configure IP addressing for the array, you may have to temporarily change the IP address of management host. The method you use to configure the IP address on the host depends on the platform you are using. Follow the instructions in one of the following sections, depending on your platform: To Configure the IP Address on the Management Host for the Solaris Operating System on page 73 To Configure the IP Address for Windows 2000 Advanced Server on page 73 To Configure the IP Address for Windows Server 2003 on page 74 To Configure the IP Address on the Management Host for the Solaris Operating System For information about changing the IP address on a Solaris server, see the ifconfig man page. To Configure the IP Address for Windows 2000 Advanced Server 1. From the Control Panel, select Network and Dial-Up Connections. 2. Select Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). 3. Make sure that a static IP address is configured, and click Advanced. 4. In Advanced TCP/IP Settings, select the IP address you want to configure, and click Add directly below the IP addresses listing. Appendix B Configuring IP Addressing 73

90 5. Type the IP address and subnet mask, and.click Add. The new IP address is added to the IP addresses listing. 6. Open a command window and try to ping the IP addresses of the controller s Ethernet ports, as shown in the following example: > ping If the ping is unsuccessful, try rebooting the server and entering the ping command again. To Configure the IP Address for Windows Server From the Control Panel, select Network and Dial-Up Connections. 2. Select Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). 3. Make sure a static IP address is configured, and click Advanced. 4. In Advanced TCP/IP Settings, click Add directly below the IP addresses listing. 5. Type an IP address that is on the same subnet as Controller A ( ) and Controller B ( ). For example, you can use because it is on the same subnet and does not conflict with the controller IP addresses. 6. Click Add. The new IP address is added to the IP addresses listing. Creating and Deleting a Temporary Virtual Subnet on a Management Host To configure static IP addressing for an array, you might have to establish a virtual subnet in order to temporarily access the array from the management host. You should delete the virtual subnet after you configure static IP addressing for the array. Note The following procedure applies to Solaris management hosts only. This section contains the following subsections: To Create a Temporary Virtual Subnet on a Management Host on page Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager Software Installation Guide October 2006

91 To Delete a Temporary Virtual Subnet on a Management Host on page 75 To Create a Temporary Virtual Subnet on a Management Host 1.

93 APPENDIX C Adding User Roles and New Users to Windows This appendix provides the information you need to create users in Windows and assign them to groups for privileges. The created users can sign into the Java Web Console to access the Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software. This appendix contains the following section: Adding a Administrator User on page 77 Adding New Users on page 81 Adding a Administrator User When you first log into the Java Web Console Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager software requires that the user have Windows administrative privileges. These instructions show you an example of how to configure an administrative user in standard Windows XP. Other versions of Windows software may vary slightly. Consult the Windows documentation. Note Administrative user names for Windows cannot have a space character. This example sets up a root user with Windows administrator privileges. Normally root is a role associated with Unix. By using the root user concept with Windows you can have a common storage administrator s role across platforms. 77

94 To Add an Administrative User 1. Click Start and select Administrative Tools -> Computer Management. The Computer Management window displays. 2. In the Computer Management window, select Local Users and Groups -> Users. 3. Right click and select New User.
